September 2004 - XML Nation
-
Mark Baker commented on my post about Web services and REST over on his blog . He says: To the second point, there actually is a critical reason (in addition to the "hide the XML" problem) why SOA/WS cannot be as simple as REST; that the architectural...
-
There are a couple interesting comments about last night's post. Steve agreed that today's SOAP stacks are too focused on hiding XML behind objects (a point he and I have agreed on before). He pointed out that one of the benefits of using HTTP sans SOAP...
-
There's been a lot of discussion lately about the state of the Web services stack. I've been thinking a lot about two posts I read recently, Edd Dumbill 's recent column at xml.com and Tim Bray's recent blog post . Edd's piece includes a section entitled...

After two and a half years working at MSDN , it's time for me to move on. I joined MSDN to help Sara Williams reinvigorate it. Well, we succeeded. We delivered some cool products along the way ( MSDN2 and Ladybug are my favorite two) and we built a stronger...

An early release of MSDN2 went live two weeks ago today. There have been quite a few posts about it, most of them very positive. The site, which contains only the Whidbey beta 1 documentation, is the first widely available use of our new online delivery...

Edd Dumbill 's latest column on xml.com summarizes Roger Costello's summary of some current discussions in the community under the title “Fallacies of Validation“. There are some interesting points about the general naivete of assuming that...

Erik's comment (as always) hits the nail on the head. The last point is especially importnat: we don't want the difference between style=“rpc“ and style=“document“ to be what schema-isms are allowed.
-
Paul posted a couple of comments ( one , two ) related to my last two posts. He is willing to work at the XML level, but wants to make sure that his services can be consumed by people using .NET, BEA, IBM and other platforms. He suggests that subsetting...
-
DaveO and MarkNot replied to last night's post. Both raised interesting points, to which I'm compelled to respond. To start with, though, let me be clear: I want interoperable web services just as much as anyone else. If web services don't interoperate...
-
Dave Orchard posted this piece in response to my posts on profiling XSD. He thinks I'm missng the point that this is an issue for users because they can't get interoperability across their implementation of schema. I disagree. What users can't get is...
-
My post on WS-I potentially profiling XSD brought a range of comments , largely in two themes. Erik pointed out the fundamental difference between the work done by the WS-I Basic Profile Working Group 1.0 (of which both he and I were members) to resolve...
